'''Status:'''

* Was waiting on DC power jacks, copperplate boards and PCB drills that have arrived. Everything should be ready if etching works ok.
* Need to figure out which power supply to use (Bladeless Fan one?) and attach DC jack.
* Basic proof of concept ESP12-F program that gets the time via wifi seems to be ok. Arduino IDE sucks balls, need something that is unit-testable.
* Low power mode for ESP12F?
* ESP12F's keep dying and wifi OTA flashing is crap.
* Need to etch a custom PCB with an ESP12F socket and UART ports.
* Need to design the PCB in KiCad and get footprints for various things. MiniJST connectors.
* Need to future proof the design for expansion of other ideas.
* Soldered LEDs to the base but probably want to redo them to allow for individual addressing. This will let one light turn on at a time, needed because the lights have a minimum forward voltage, meaning a minimum brightness.

'''Ideas:'''
* Add screen to give time.
* Add light sensor to make sure the screen is off at night (if it is a lit screen).
* IR Motion sensor? Wave hand to turn on light?
* Blue lights for morning waking?
* Red lights for nighttime sleepy?
